Thanks, this is just what I've been waiting for! I believe the time-stamping of events, and a suitable scheduling queue, are critical for making real-time music. With the work you've done I suspect it would be pretty easy to build a SuperCollider backend for Haskore.
Yes, great! I also tested SuperCollider in the past but it was hard for me to get an overview of the documentation. The simplest way for me seemed to use the SuperCollider programming language and thus to write an Haskore backend translating into this language. But I prefer a direct (binary) connection to the SuperCollider server. Btw. I'm just collecting event list related code scattered in Haskore modules for MIDI, performance and my Haskell audio signal backend in order to setup a module for handling lists with time stamped events. This may be also helpful for SuperCollider then.
